WordPress Site Themes & Plugins

With the site themes and plugins endpoint, you can get a list of your site's plugins and themes. You can also send a PUT request to update your plugins or themes individually or as a bulk update.

You can obtain the environment_id using the GET request with the WordPress Site Environments endpoint.

The environment_id is also shown after the site_id in the URL in MyKinsta when you access the environment, for example in the URL https://my.kinsta.com/sites/details/fbab4927-e354-4044-b226-29ac0fbd20ca/c84ce214-69b9-4a32-8e67-880672cf1d38?idCompany=bdd25d71-5706-4890-870f-1adda17c505d:

The site_id is fbab4927-e354-4044-b226-29ac0fbd20ca
The environment_id is c84ce214-69b9-4a32-8e67-880672cf1d38
The company_id is bdd25d71-5706-4890-870f-1adda17c505d
